  DISCIPLINE   Daniel 1:1-9   Devotional:- “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself” (V. 8) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DISCIPLINE Support Us Daniel 1:1-9 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com No matter what the enemy is doing to afflict a man, if he is disciplined, they will not overcome him. Discipline is the ability to subject or control oneself to do what is right, notwithstanding the situation or the challenges around. God cherishes people who can do this, and they will surely be delivered from the troubles.   Daniel was carried as a slave to Babylon, but he was not a slave in his mind. Many ar...

SACRIFICIAL LOVE

SACRIFICIAL LOVE

Scripture: John 13:31-35

Devotional:- By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." v.35 NKJV

     Many Christians has grown so selfish because of the principles they have adopted. So, no matter the negative effect of their decision on others, as long as it profits them, they are okay. Today in the name of business strategies we cut and wound each other. We don’t mind if others close down just for us to rise.

As long as you want to be a disciple of Christ, you must be willing to live in love. Jesus our master Himself is love personified (1 John 4:7-8). He sacrificed His life for us to be redeemed, so also you and I must live a sacrificial love life towards others. This is when we can resemble Christ.

The kind of love we should love people is called agape love in the Greek meaning. This means a selfless love. Counting others to be equally important, seeking to let go our profit to help the weak. This is the kind of love God can reward. This is the love that can gain the attention of God. This love makes Abraham to be willing to sacrifice Isaac (Gen. 21:9). This love makes God to give us His only Son. This is the love that can identify us as a true disciple of Jesus. Receive grace to live in the love of Christ. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to bear the fruits of true love.

"Love is our identity with God"

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
